The Great Betrayal: The Definitive Story of Blunt, Philby, Burgess, and Maclean by Douglas Sutherland
Requirements: .PDF reader, 5.8mb
Overview: The Great Betrayal recounts the most momentous and fascinating true spy story in post-war history. Revealed here for the first time is the detailed up-to-the-minute account of the four notorious English Communist agents who have made worldwide headlines for a generation. Philby, Burgess and Maclean have already become legendary in the West, and Blunt now joins them.
Douglas Sutherland not only relates the story of their espionage and flight, but tells what has happened to them since and what has been learned since – including the recent astonishing revelations about Sir Anthony Blunt, the Curator of the Queen of England’s royal art collections.
Neither the KGB nor the British Secret Service will ever open their files to the public.
Accordingly, Douglas Sutherland’s The Great Betrayal will remain the definitive account of these four best-known traitors of our time. The significance of their treachery is suggested by the fact that at least one of them, David Maclean, had privileged access to the secret files of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission throughout the period of rivalry with Russia in the race to produce the ultimate bomb.
Maclean, Guy Burgess and Kim Philby defected to Soviet Russia. Sir Anthony Blunt, whose traitorship was disclosed in the House of Commons by the Prime Minister, survives, a broken man, in England.
Burgess and Maclean had joined the Communist cause in college, when fascism was rising. In 1945, a defecting KGB agent offered to
disclose their identities as Soviet agents within the top ranks of the British Government. Incredibly, the matter was turned over to Kim Philby, himself a secret KGB colonel!
In The Great Betrayal, Douglas Sutherland enables us finally to know how these traitors operated, how they escaped and what fate held in store for them.
